Leg Pain
I am a six year survivor. During and subsequent my chemo treatment, I suffered from neuropathy. Five years after chemo, I had foot surgery to correct nerve damage believed caused by the chemo. During the past 2 months, I have been experiencing lower leg pain. I have cramps during when inactive. When I get up out of a chair or bed, I have leg pain which causes me to limp. I had an x-ray and a sonogram. The orthopedist advised there was no blood clot or tumor. They are sending me to see a physical therapist next week. When I asked the orthorpedic doctor about doing a scan, he replied that he thought the problems are related to the foot surgeries and nerve damage. I see my oncologist in October, and I am wondering if I should be more foreceful about insisting that they do a scan. Has anybody had similar symptons following chemo?

Nina is doing massage and stretching. We are going to go to lower back steroid injection in the next two weeks. Celebrex helped, but did not relieve the symptoms.
